Robert Lazarski resolved AXIS2C-1479.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing as "Won't Fix" with the following rationale:
1. Limited benefit with only 2 parsers: With only Guththila and libxml2 as
options (and a
3rd unlikely), dynamic loading provides minimal value. A compile-time choice
between 2
options is straightforward and well-documented.
2. Issue age and inactivity: Nearly 16 years old with no assignee or
implementation attempts
suggests no real demand.
3. Abstraction already exists: The ops-based interface pattern means
application code is
already parser-agnostic. The only compile-time dependency is the parser
wrapper selection.
4. Complexity vs. benefit: Dynamic loading would require:
- Plugin discovery and loading infrastructure
- Configuration file parsing (needs a parser to load a parser - bootstrap
problem)
- Platform-specific dlopen/LoadLibrary code
- Error handling for missing/incompatible plugins
5. Similar to AXIS2C-1481: This is the same reporter requesting the same
pattern (runtime vs
compile-time) for XML parsers as they did for SSL. The rationale for
rejecting that applies
here too.
6. Current approach works well: Users who need libxml2 simply rebuild with
--enable-libxml2.
This is a one-time configuration decision, not something that changes
frequently.
> Should dynamically resolve to XML parser

> Key: AXIS2C-1479
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1479
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: xml/parser
> Reporter: Nadir K. Amra
> Priority: Major
>
> Axis2/C has an interface it expects to invoke when dealing with the XML
> parser. But adding a parser requires rebuild Axis2/C with the new parser.
> We need to be able to specify the XML parser in axis2.xml file and Axis2/C
> should dynamically load the parser. This way, new parsers can be added
> without having to recompile or rebuilt Axis2/C.
